Two New Middle Busters<br />

for F-20 <strong>and</strong> F-30 <strong>Tractors</strong><br />

No.7 Push Type<br />

No.8 Long Beam<br />

HERE are two new <strong>Farmall</strong> busters which are rapidly winning<br />

the approval of cotton growers in the South <strong>and</strong> Southwest.<br />

One is the No. 7 push-type buster, built in two- <strong>and</strong><br />

three-row, <strong>and</strong> the other the No. 8 two-furrow, a buster with<br />

extra long beams.<br />

On the No. 7 the two front bottoms are located ahead of the<br />

tractor drive wheels with two full-row widths between them.<br />

The tractor drive wheels run in the furrows made by these bottoms<br />

<strong>and</strong> therefore always have good traction. This buster<br />

Illust. 47. The <strong>Farmall</strong> No. 7 three-row push-type<br />

middle buster. This size is popular for use with F-30<br />

tractors. The two-row is more popular for the F-20<br />

<strong>and</strong> for use as a skip-row buster.<br />

builds exceptionally uniform beds. On the threerow<br />

the center bottom is attached to the rear of<br />

the tractor.<br />

The No. 7 is regularly equipped with 14-inch<br />

middle-buster bottoms. The ,equipment which<br />

can be supplied to meet special conditions includes<br />

plain or notched rolling coulters, disk<br />

attachment, spring-trip attachment, etc.<br />

Illust. 46. This shows the No: 7 middle buster at<br />

work. Note that the front bottoms travel in front of<br />

the tractor drive wheels.<br />

The long beams on the No. 8 middle buster<br />

place the bottoms far enough back to permit<br />

setting the tractor drive wheels so that they<br />

will not run on any of the dirt turned up from<br />

previously made furrows. This assures uniform<br />

height of beds. The depth of the bottoms is<br />

controlled by gauge wheels. The beams are held<br />

to their proper row width by means of a double<br />

hobble on the rear end. This hobble also holds<br />

the bottoms level <strong>and</strong> prevents twisting strains<br />

on the front ends of the beams. The long hitch<br />

assures good penetration <strong>and</strong> steady operation.<br />

The No. 8 is equipped<br />

with 14-inch high-speed<br />

middle-buster bottoms.<br />

Equipment available on<br />

special order includes<br />

different types of bottoms,<br />

spring-trip beams, plain or<br />

notched rolling coulters, etc.<br />
